Welcome to Falcon

This portal will be maintained by a European consortium and supported by the Grundtvig 4 action of the Socrates Programme.

The Falcon project arises from the need to discuss in a European seminar the pedagogical issues relative to Family Learning: didactic approach, quality criteria, cultural adaptation, and infrastructure.

The main objectives are

• to establish a foundation for a European discussion on Family Learning
• to raise awareness of the importance of this strategy as a tool for the integration in LLL of adults with an educational disadvantage
• to provide a forum for the exchange of experience and good practice
• to identify and validate examples of good practice
• to increase the motivation of educators and policy makers involved in pioneer work in this field, through communication in an international forum
• to provide support and recommendations for further development, through proposals within GR 1 or 4.

The target groups are policy makers, researchers and educational institutions that are or wish to be involved in Family Learning.
